News A Minecraft Movie A Minecraft Movie Trailer Explains Everything You Didn’t Want to Know About Film’s Plot Everything you ever wanted to know about Steve By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 19, 2024 Credit: Warner Bros. Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Warner Bros. When news broke that there was going to be a live-action film based on the video game, Minecraft, more than a few people wondered how the hell that was going to work. You never know what you’re going to get with adaptations—I was extremely skeptical when I first heard of the Barbie movie, for example, and Greta Gerwig proved me wrong. But this latest trailer for A Minecraft Movie doesn’t give me confidence. In it, we learn the origin story for Jack Black’s character, Steve, who apparently was just some guy (a miner, in fact) who digs up a blue cube and is transported to a land of blocks. The official synopsis for A Minecraft Movie reveals more of the plot, whether we want that info or not: Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival!  Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world. The movie is directed by Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess and is set to premiere in theaters on April 4, 2025. Check out the trailer below.[end-mark] The post <i>A Minecraft Movie</i> Trailer Explains Everything You Didn’t Want to Know About Film’s Plot appeared first on Reactor.

Border Patrol agents are “ecstatic” that immigration-enforcement veteran Tom Homan will serve as border czar in the second Trump administration, a union spokesman told The Daily Signal.  “We have somebody now that’s [come up] within the ranks,” Manny Bayon, president of the National Border Patrol Council for the San Diego area, said of Homan. “He was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement director before, and he wants to fix it.”  On Nov. 10, Trump named Homan border czar for his incoming administration.   The National Border Patrol Council, the union for Border Patrol agents, officially endorsed Trump for president in October. ? BREAKING: The National Border Patrol Council ENDORSES President Trump!"If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell." pic.twitter.com/YAP2lOJwDf— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 13, 2024 Homan will work closely with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security, to carry out the president-elect’s agenda at the southern border.   Border Patrol agents are “happy there’s somebody besides Mayorkas” who will lead DHS, Bayon said, referring to current Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, appointed by President Joe Biden.   “Our former border czar didn’t do anything,” Bayon said, referring to Vice President Kamala Harris. “She had the ability to do something, being vice president, and she did not.” In March 2021, Biden tasked Harris with “leading the administration’s diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras,” according to a White House fact sheet.   During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly referred to Harris as Biden’s “border czar.”   Trump’s choice of Homan as his border czar isn’t surprising, given Homan’s years of experience working on border and immigration issues and his stint running ICE in the first Trump administration.   In 2017, Trump appointed Homan as acting director of ICE, a position he held until his retirement a year and a half later. Homan began his career in border security in the 1980s when he joined the Border Patrol; he began working for ICE in the early 2000s. Because Homan worked his way up from the job of Border Patrol agent, he has “the confidence of the rank-and-file agents in the field,” a Customs and Border Protection official who asked not to be named told The Daily Signal.   Agents are “very positive” about Homan, the CBP official said, noting that “Homan has made it very clear that we are going to enforce U.S. immigration law.”   More than 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. since Mayorkas became Biden’s homeland security secretary on Feb. 2, 2021.   The CBP official The Daily Signal spoke with indicated that Border Patrol agents aren’t as familiar with Noem as Homan, but said the agents consider the Republican governor to be “competent.” Noem has been a vocal supporter of Trump in general and of securing the southern border specifically.   In February, Noem announced she would send South Dakota National Guard troops to Texas to aid in that state’s efforts to secure its border with Mexico.   “Kristi has been very strong on Border Security,” Trump wrote Nov. 12 in announcing Noem’s appointment as homeland security secretary. “She was the first Governor to send National Guard Soldiers to help Texas fight the Biden Border Crisis, and they were sent a total of eight times.”  The post Tom Homan and Kristi Noem: What Border Agents Think of Their Incoming Bosses appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Illegal immigration activists are already panicked that Donald Trump will keep one of his biggest campaign promises. Trump recently announced that Tom Homan will be his “border czar.” Homan isn’t a household name, but he’s had a long career in government. Homan was the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first term. He was also ICE’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations under President Barack Obama. Trump wants him to put those skills to use. “Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in announcing the appointment Nov. 10. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. During the campaign, Trump vowed to oversee “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.” Many voters welcomed this. The millions of illegal aliens who entered the country since President Joe Biden took office overwhelmed even self-declared “sanctuary” cities. In several high-profile cases, like the killing of Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia, officials believe illegal immigrants murdered Americans. A Venezuelan gang even took over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. But the Left’s fearmongering over Trump’s deportation plans has already begun. The Left’s first objection is that it’s logistically impossible. It would be very difficult to identify and move 15 million illegal immigrants out of the country. But it’s also hard to solve every murder case. That doesn’t keep police from solving the ones they can. In an August interview, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, now vice president-elect, endorsed this step-by-step approach. “Let’s start with 1 million” and “then we can go from there,” he said. The next objection is that it will cost too much. There is an element of truth here. Enforcing laws is costly. But as blue cities learned the hard way, the “defund the police” alternative is far worse. This concern ignores how expensive it is for state and local governments to provide services to illegal immigrants. In 2023, New York City officials estimated that illegal immigrants cost the city $4 billion annually. For context, in 2023, NYPD’s annual budget was $5.8 billion. Also, you should never take Democrats seriously when they object to spending government money. Just look at the trillions they doled out during Biden’s first term. Another concern is that deporting illegals will hurt the economy. The theory is that deporting millions of illegal immigrants would shrink the supply of low-skilled workers. That would force companies to pay higher wages, which would raise prices. It probably would for some products, but look at the why again. Illegal immigrants have artificially boosted the supply of people competing for entry-level jobs and working in manual labor industries like construction. That’s lowered wages for low-skill workers. Boosting those wages would be a good thing, even if it raises prices for those higher up the income ladder. Plus, removing millions of illegal immigrants would lower housing prices. Finally, there will be claims that it’s cruel. The propaganda press is eager to blame deportations for causing a “family separation” crisis. But deportations don’t need to include that. Illegal immigrant parents should be allowed and encouraged to take their children with them when they leave. Also, the government routinely separates U.S. citizens who commit crimes from their children. The responsibility in both cases lies with the parents who broke the law. There’s also a practical benefit to Trump talking up deportations and reinstituting things like his “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum-seekers. It will decrease the amount of illegal immigration. If would-be illegal immigrants know they won’t be able to enter and stay in the country, fewer will even try to cross the border. Regardless of how deportations go, that would be a major victory.

Bucks County Commissioner: People Misinterpreted My Remarks

Is tech giant Google once again pulling strings in a secretive post-election effort to sabotage the incoming Trump administration? The Washington Free Beacon announced on Nov. 18 that it had obtained an invite issued for a summit in Washington, D.C. hosted by leftist, Soros-funded superPAC Priorities USA. The stated purpose of the summit is reportedly to “resist” the GOP agenda, and Google is co-hosting an event as part of the summit. It seems Google is still trying to manipulate political outcomes, even after Election Day. Following Trump’s surprise electoral victory in the 2016 election, during a Google all-hands meeting, search giant co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, VPs Kent Walker and Eileen Naughton, CFO Ruth Porat and even CEO Sundar Pichai were videoed lamenting that then-Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton had lost. Then, in 2019, Google Responsible Innovation Head Jen Gennai went so far as to admit to an undercover Project Veritas journalist that the company was working to “prevent” the next “Trump situation” from happening in 2020. MRC researchers later exposed Google for its egregious election meddling during the 2024 election season. And now, it appears, Google is at it again. The Priorities USA invite, according to The Free Beacon, read, “Recognizing that there is still a lot of data to be collected and analysis to be done, we hope that you will join our 2024 Digital Retrospective during which we will discuss what was done online this cycle and how we can prepare to resist the Republican agenda.” Priorities USA added in the email invite, “This is just an initial conversation, we will be in touch in the coming weeks and months with information to join additional deeper dive conversations, briefings, and planning meetings.” But most significantly for free speech advocates, Priorities USA also stated in the invite, “For those in DC, we hope that you will also join us for a social hour co-hosted by our friends at Google.”  The Free Beacon highlighted Trump’s record of criticizing Google and Big Tech censorship, and reported that a Google spokesman confirmed Google‘s eagerness to host the happy hour, but denied that Google was responsible for formulating the summit’s priorities. “We did not participate in creating the content of the meeting,” the Google spokesman alleged. “As they do for large ad buyers on both sides of the aisle, our political sales team will host some drinks after it.”  But the response seems dubious in light of Google’s track record of pushing for the most radical Democrat candidates over moderate Democrats and also Republicans. MRC has compiled at least 41 times Google has interfered in elections since 2008. Among the interference exposed by MRC is then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt endorsing Democrat Barack Obama just before 2008 Election Day and hiding “crooked hillary” (Clinton) from search suggestions in 2016. Furthermore, ahead of the 2024 election, MRC Free Speech America repeatedly exposedGoogle’s search engine manipulation. The platform routinely buried the campaign websites of Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., among other presidential rivals of Democrats Joe Biden and later Kamala Harris. Google also repeatedly buried right-leaning outlets’ articles about the presidential election under pages of left-leaning content. Even on Election Day, Google buried right-leaning outlet articles when MRC researchers searched the innocuous terms “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024,” results that had likewise occurredconsistently throughout October. In August, MRC’s searches on Google for information on rallies for the vice presidential picks, JD Vance (R) and Tim Walz (D), brought up results about Harris as well, even ahead of information about Vance.  Conservatives are under attack. Contact Google here and demand that it be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

Facebook disabled an Israeli national news outlet without a clear reason.  Arutz Sheva reported on Nov. 10 that Facebook had suspended its page with 151,999 followers due to alleged complaints from other users. When the article was published, the outlet wrote, “While the Facebook page is still accessible, Arutz Sheva is unable to upload posts.” However, when MRC Free Speech America attempted to find the page the next day, the page had been completely disabled and was inaccessible to users.  Arutz Sheva noted that it had received several complaints that “may have stemmed from anti-Israel and antisemitic reporting campaigns against Israeli and Jewish pages.”  It is unclear whether a complaint against a specific post led to the suspension and disabling of the account. However, the outlet said it had received complaints related to seven reports it had posted about, including content related to “the elimination of senior Hezbollah official Nabil Qaouk on September 28th, an official IDF announcement about the commencement of the operation in Lebanon, [and] the elimination of the terrorist who murdered a father in front of his children on October 7th,” among others.    Arutz Sheva explained that it received the complaints “together with a message from Facebook reading: ‘It looks like you shared or sent something that attacks a person, or group of people, based on who they are.’" It is unclear how reports of the news in Israel would have violated Facebook’s Community Guidelines. MRC researchers reached out to Facebook, but the platform did not respond to a request for comment at the time of publication.  This is not the first time Facebook has censored pro-Israel content.  MRC Free Speech America recorded in its exclusive CensorTrack database that, last year, Meta-owned Instagram censored actor Nate Buzolic for his posts supporting Israel shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on civilians in Israel. Buzolic told Fox News that Instagram had shut down his account three times and suggested that he too may have been a victim of a mass reporting complaint campaign. “I think what this really presents is a clear and coordinated effort of groups to shut down content and accounts like myself who have been exposing the atrocities of what Hamas has done,” he said.  Buzolic later added, “I think the American people need to sit back and realize that this is not grandmas in Texas who are reporting my accounts, but these are groups of people who know that the battle that's being fought on the ground in Israel is also an information war.”  In 2021 Facebook also censored Rabbi Akiva Pollack. He wrote in a post: "I previously posted about the 17,000 trending hashtags Hitler was right. Can we challenge that to #HitlerWasWrong Oh, and make it 18,000." Facebook deleted his post and locked his account for 24 hours. Although he disagreed with the decision, and Facebook reviewed the post, the company claimed in a subsequent message that it "confirmed" the post "didn't follow our Community Standards." Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives.

A video of an alleged drunk driver leading cops on a chase through a busy parking lot in Texas has gone viral. Video shows the woman holding a drink as she evades police and crashes into other cars. In the end, the woman is smiling and making jokes as she's arrested. Around 2 p.m. Thursday, Audrey Marie Schneider recklessly drove around the parking lot of a shopping center in San Antonio. The nearly five-minute video shows the 37-year-old leading police on a chase while driving her white Toyota SUV. 'Oh no. I’m about to see something traumatic happen in front of me.'According to authorities, the police chase began in Comal County, continued on a highway, and concluded in the shopping plaza in Bexar County. WOAI-TV reported that a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper attempted to pull Schneider over on Interstate 35 in Comal County. However, Schneider allegedly sped away from the trooper. During the pursuit by multiple police cruisers, Schneider made several laps around a shopping center parking lot, which put pedestrians at risk. The viral video captured by freelance photographer Alec Dyer shows Schneider driving erratically in the parking lot and crashing into other vehicles, including police cruisers. Dyer told KSAT, "It felt really surreal. I couldn’t even believe it.""Just witnessing that, I was, like, mentally preparing, ‘Oh no. I’m about to see something traumatic happen in front of me,‘“ Dyer added. “The whole time I’m thinking, ‘Oh no! At this rate, she’s gonna kill somebody. She’s gonna hurt somebody.‘”Video shows Schneider holding up a drink during the police chase in the parking lot. Eventually, police corner Schneider's SUV. However, Schneider is seen attempting to evade police by fleeing into a business in the plaza. Soon police are seen escorting Schneider out of a store in handcuffs. Schneider's clothes appear to be drenched in liquid, and she has dark marks on both sides of her face.No injuries were reported.A smiling Schneider says, "I'm so sorry." A bystander is on video asking police: "Hey, she threw a can of beer on me, can I press charges?"Schneider is seen on video responding, "Yes, please do. I double-dog dare you." Schneider is heard telling the onlookers: "I'm back, bitches." While being pinned to the hood of a police cruiser, she also said, "Santa is coming." The San Antonio Express-News reported that emergency medical services checked Schneider before she was taken to Bexar County Jail.In her mugshot, Schneider flashes a smile. Schneider was charged with driving while intoxicated with an open alcohol container, assaulting a peace officer, evading arrest in a vehicle, as well as two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant.According to KSAT, this wasn't Schneider’s first incident involving driving and alcohol.In 2017, Schneider faced a charge of obstruction of a highway while intoxicated, the station reported. Records show the charge was dismissed after she was granted deferred adjudication.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Jen Psaki scolded Democrats who were shrinking away from pushing the transgender agenda after their party's astounding losses in the election and said one trans issue wasn't even "worthy of a debate."The former White House press secretary made the comments in a monologue on her MSNBC show. 'If that were actually an issue with thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate.' "There's obviously a lot of soul-searching going on right now in the Democratic Party, and that's a good thing. But what I worry about is that in the course of all that soul-searching, some Democrats might reach the wrong sweeping conclusions," said Psaki. "And there are a lot of issues that fall into that bucket, but one in particular that stuck out to me is transgender rights." She went on to make a case that Republicans misled voters to believe that the transgender movement has affected far more Americans than it has in reality. She used the example of Vice President Kamala Harris supporting taxpayer-funded transition surgery for prisoners and detainees that was used as a cudgel by Republicans in ads. "If that sounds like a particularly obscure issue, it is, because it applies to a tiny group of people," Psaki said. She then criticized fellow Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, who openly defied the transgender agenda and said it was fair for parents to worry about opening up girls' bathrooms to biological males. "Look, reflection is good," Psaki continued, "but if that were actually an issue with thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate. But there are just incredibly few samples of transgender girls playing in youth sports." She added that people's concerns about transgender threats are "misguided" and "misinformed." Moulton has said that the backlash he received proved his point that the transgender issue cannot even be debated among Democrats. A short video of Psaki's comments went viral on social media, but the entire segment can be viewed on the MSNBC YouTube page. Like Blaze News?
